Loophole lets mentally ill buy gun at Cabela’s in SC
In Fort Mill South Carolina Christopher Mendez, recently treated for homicidal thoughts, bought a .45 at Cabela’s after being involuntarily admitted by a doctor but not by a judge. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System approved the sale and about an hour later he killed a 19 year old worker. The case prompts discussion on whether involuntary hospital admissions should be reported to NICS and whether extreme risk protection orders are needed to suspend gun rights during imminent danger.
